Around 11:15 a.m. Friday, 17 goats got loose from a pen they were grazing in on a hillside near the corner of Bayshore Boulevard and Key Avenue, said Capt. Denise Bongiovanni of Animal Care and Control.

The animals, which are owned by City Grazing, took their time wandering around the neighborhood before they were contained at about 12:45 p.m., she said. At one point, a goat tried to walk up an on-ramp to Highway 101, but an officer was able to head it off.

None of the goats, who are known to have an appetite for just about anything, caused any damage, Bongiovanni said. “I think they were a little too freaked out to have any fun,” she said.
